Return, My Love: Wooing the Neglected Ex-Wife

Chapter 762:

Fannie knew last night was a mistake, caught off guard by Bobby’s relentless energy.

She was left aching all over.

Bobby noticed her tearful brink and backed down. “Maybe tomorrow?”

The timing of the meeting had been awkwardly set.

Exhausted to her core, Fannie rapidly nodded, then hurriedly swung open the car door, making her escape with quick steps. From behind, Bobby observed her departing figure, his face breaking into a smile.

She had matured, fully capable of managing her affairs now. Still, to him, Fannie remained the young girl who once endured bullying, always in need of his safeguarding.

The following day, rumors floated around about Mayer and Judie sharing a spark on the show.

Fannie chose not to meddle with these “rumors.”

After all, they were on the brink of making their relationship public. Despite some online backlash, this buzz acted as a strategic move to cushion the forthcoming reveal.

By the afternoon, Selma found Fannie, her eyes brimming with tears.

Her recent stint in a short drama had ended, and now, joblessness loomed—a fate worse than failure for any performer due to the lack of visibility.noveldrama

The boss was oblivious to Selma’s clandestine maneuvers. Just that morning, he had inquired why Fannie hadn’t lined up any projects for Selma.

Without uttering a word, Fannie simply laid out a termination contract.

This had driven Selma to seek her out.

“Fannie, I realize my mistake. I temporarily lost my head. Please, I’m begging you—don’t end my contract!”

“Temporarily lost your head?”

Fannie was fully aware of how desperately Selma had tried to charm Jett.

Neither Jett nor Selma had admirable qualities. They were both cunning and untrustworthy.

“Selma, remember you were the first talent I took under my wing. I can say without a doubt that I’ve always treated you fairly.”

Selma nodded vigorously. “I’m aware, Fannie, I truly am! The fault is mine!”

Tears streamed down her cheeks, embodying a delicate sorrow.

That, regrettably, remained unseen by any camera.

“I realize now how misguided I was. Even Jett shuns me. Fannie, all I wanted was to secure a backer for myself. After years in minor roles, I can feel my prime years slipping through my fingers. I was utterly desperate…”

Fannie’s icy stare pierced Selma, laden with silent judgment. As Selma spoke, her voice dwindled to a whisper, and her head sank in shame.

Indeed, Fannie had always been generous to Selma, offering every opportunity within her reach. Yet, no amount of help could skyrocket Selma to stardom overnight.

True success required patience, and genuine talent would eventually get its due.
